Fr Frank writes:

 

The Prime Minister has announced that Coronavirus restrictions will continue in their present form until 19th July at the earliest.  This means that current practices and precautions continue to apply to our celebration of Mass:  alphabetical allocation of seats on Saturday/Sunday, the wearing of Masks, social distancing, no singing or unnecessary talking in church, and the use of hand sanitiser on entering and leaving church.

 

We all pray, I’m sure, for a safe world and a speedy return to normality.

 

May God bless you today and always.

A letter from a schoolboy at a preparatory school to his parents:

Dear Mum, Last week the bishop came for confirmation.  I could see him well from the seat in the chapel.  Now I know what a crook rally looks like.
